[QUOTE="42769vette, post: 901731, member: 26778"] When you dial with a scope that doesn't track you have to re sight in your rifle after every time you touch the turrets. There are 2 kinds of tracking issues. One is where it moves your POI a consistent amount, then not what is advertised. That one is not as big a deal because you figure your dope on the scope, and you are dialing for what is happening. Another issue is scopes with inconsistent clicks. You may dial up 10 moa, and down 10 moa, and learn your original zero is 3 moa off, and now your re sighting in because 3 moa off at 500 yds is a wounded animal. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I dont see where the OP says his max range is 500 yds. He uses 500yds as a point of reference for the math, but for all I can tell he is shooting 1000 yds. Ammo is to expensive to run cheap scopes that dont track. [/QUOTE]
